ENJOY LIFE.-What a truly beduu
ful world we live in Nature gives us
grandeur Of mountains, glens and
oceans, and thousands OF neans of
enjoyment. We can desire no better
when In perfect health ; but how Of
ten do the majority OF people feel like
giving it up disheartened, discourag-
cd aud worn out with disease, when
there is no OCCASION for this feeling.
a. every sufferer can easily obtain
satisfactory proof, that Green's Au-
gust Flower, will make them FREQ
from disease, us when born. Dyspep-

rect causes of seventy five per cent.
Of such meladies as Biliousucss, In
digestion, Sick Headache, Costivc-
ness Nervous ProstratiOn, Dizziness
of the Head, Palpitation OF the Hoart

Three doses of August Flower will
prove its wonderful effect. Sample

The High School opened on Mon
day under the most iiattering pros
poets. Thirty-one students wero en
rolled the first day and new pupils
are coming in daily. Prof. Murphy
enters upon his labors with an earn.
estness characteristic Of himself,
and he promises great improvements
in she theory and practice of former
educators. One theory in particular
that is new novel and extremely
practical is tho ringing OF the study
bell every evening at stven O'Clock,
when he expects every pupil to be
not only at home but ut study. This
may at first seem little severe but
it will prove OF Unreasonable benefit
to the students rs we'll as to the par
ents who now have tho Professor to
assist them in Keeping their children

have been long ago. We look with II
good deal of confidence on Mr.. Muir
